First off, i know this is a bit of an odd topic, and im not sure this is the best place to post it, but here goes.

So I called the nearest dealership i know of (McHugh's in Zanesville) and they can't get OEM key fobs for my '98. Before, when i asked if they could program a fob, the guy seemed to thought i was talking a bout a chipped key, and said it was 70 dollars.

I see a few fobs online i might take a chance on. it would be nice than fumbling around with two keys (P.O. put a new ignition in).

Does anyone know an affordable place in the southeastern Ohio area that can program the keyless entry fob? Too bad you cant do it with a regular OBD2 tool.

Try all your local locksmiths they can do it also.

It's cheaper to install an aftermarket keyless entry than it is to get an OEM remote and have it programmed.
